Santana - Caravanserai

Caravanserai

This 1972 album by Santana is my favorite album by them. The songs are jazz fusion and Latin rock. "Eternal Caravan of Reincarnation Santana", "Waves Within Santana", "Look Up (To See What's Coming Down)", "Just in Time to See the Sun", "Song of the Wind Santana", "All the Love of the Universe", "Future Primitive", "Stone Flower", "La Fuente del Ritmo", and "Every Step of the Way". A must hear album for Santana fans. I also like their Abraxas album.

Abraxas is from 1970 and is Santana's second album. The songs are Latin rock, blues rock, and jazz fusion. My favorites are "Singing Winds, Crying Beasts", "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen", "Incident at Neshabur", "Hope You're Feeling Better", and "El Nicoya". The 1998 edition also has live versions of "Se a Cabo", "Toussaint L'Overture", and "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen". I also like their Caravanserai album.

The Essential Billy Joel

The Essential Billy Joel

This is a very big collection of songs by Billy Joel from the 70s to the 00s. Some 70s songs I like are "My Life", "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)", "Piano Man", "Just the Way You Are", and "She's Always a Woman". The 80s songs "Uptown Girl", "You May Be Right", "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me", "Tell Her About It", and "We Didn't Start the Fire". I also like "Waltz No. 1 (Nunley's Carousel)" and "Invention in C minor", which is classical music.
